Double-walled sewer (Fujifilm)

Purpose

Expansion of the office, lab and warehouse at their Zwijndrecht facility.

Problem-solution

Our plastics team in Antwerp was responsible for the prefabrication, delivery and installation of 115 metres of double-walled sewer pipes under the floor slab of FUJIFILM's new warehouse.

As the PE100 tubes have an exceptionally large diameter (inside ø 200- outside ø 315) and are thus not available as standard, they were made from scratch in the workshop. At the shipyard, on a drizzly spring day, they were simultaneously welded together by our fitters Gunther and Arthur using a mirror welding technique. The harsh weather conditions did not make the job any easier, but they did it!

Outside the building, an inspection pit has been installed for visual leak detection.
